Webinar Description

The innovative “Special Needs Tracking and Awareness Response System” (STARS) program for medically fragile children with complex preplans was started by Paramedic Patricia Casey in the St. Louis region over a decade ago. In that time, the program has been implemented all over the region and satellite pockets around the country. What started as a paper-based program for a few patients, evolved into a nationally accessible database for over a thousand children with increasingly complex needs.

Please join Stephanie Ashford and Chad Metz to discuss the fundamentals of the program and how the St. Charles County Ambulance District has incorporated the ImageTrend Elite Community Health Module to help improve the program.
